Of all the travels that I have undertaken in my life, I have yet to set sail on a cruise ship.

2. Superstar Gemini is docked at the terminal

Therefore, you can imagine my delight when I was informed that it is going to be easier (and cheaper) to go on a cruise when a new route for Superstar Libra begins this 3rd September. Passengers are to board from Port Klang’s Boustead Cruise Centre, instead of Penang Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal or Singapore Cruise Centre.

Boustead Cruise Centre (BCC) is the only international passenger cruise terminal in Port Klang, which is the largest and busiest port in Malaysia. BCC was in fact originally built and owned by Genting Group more than twenty years ago and was known as Star Cruise Terminal.

Star Cruise moved to Singapore, and the terminal was sold to another company, before Boustead Group acquired the terminal in October 2014.

5. information at the Department of Museum Malaysia

BCC serves 130 vessels per year and some 200,000 international passengers over the same period. A major highlight of BCC, while under the ownership of Boustead Group, was the docking of one of the world’s largest and most technologically-advanced cruise ships, MS Quantum of the Seas, owned by Royal Caribbean International. It carried 4,000 passengers.

BCC is an internationally-compliant passenger ship port, only one of four cruise terminals in Malaysia that has achieved this status. BCC is a five-storey terminal equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and modern amenities, to provide comfort and convenience for passengers. At any one time, BCC can cater to three vessels.

7. straw art for sale

Sitting on 70 acres of land, there is still plenty of room for BCC to develop. In the pipeline is a hotel, to be operated by a sister company under Boustead Group. This hotel caters to passengers who call at the port, before moving on to another destination.

As BCC is the first point of interaction for cruise passengers with Malaysia and her people, the management has provided space for local crafters to showcase their products. Setting up shop at the Malaysian Arts & Craft Centre include those producing non-stitch patchwork, straw art, ceramics and more. Live demonstration of art work is also available.

Some of the larger establishments have also set up a mini gallery at BCC, to give visitors a preview of what’s available at the main gallery in the city.

My recent visit to Boustead Cruise Terminal (BCC) in Port Klang was made possible by the Selangor State Economic Planning Unit (Tourism Sector) and Gaya Travel Magazine. Hopefully, these photos I shared give you a good walk-through of Boustead Cruise Centre, which operates the cruise terminal, and not the cruise liners themselves.

just want to check where can i park my car if i am go on 4D/3N cruise. How Much Charges? is it any guard to take care? safe?
i go to the Superstar Libra on this coming 15/10, is it this terminal i need to boarding?

Hi Emily…
You mentioned earlier that the walking distance was about 100 + 200 meters to the jetty.
Is there a drop off point for those with moving difficulties…before driver proceeds to the parking bay?
Thnx.

Hi Emily, just wanna gather information before i booked fr the cruise. If im coming in frm KLIA2 on a bus, where should i stop. Is it at the bus terminal and then use a taxi or Grab then to the BCC Terminal. You got a better suggestion that u can share, cause i am going with veterans so the easier the better.. Thank You..

Really enjoyed reading your article, I will be on Genting cruise sailing from Singapore end of this month. We will be stopping at BCC from 7am to 6pm. We thinking of going to have the famous Bak Ku Teh in Klang and a shopping trip at Aeon Mall. Just wondering if you know whether we can easily get a taxi/grab /uber from BCC to Klang? If yes do you happen to know what are the approximately charges? Thanks in advance.

Last question, car parking in terminal, did any happen someone car parking there, the mirror break in the car windows ? Stolen thing inside the car, is there happen before ? If yes. My car will not parking there. Please lets know. Thanks.

Hi Emily. I enjoy reading the information provided above. Thanks. I will be joining star cruise this 2nd May, Wednesday. I just need your opinion: if cruise set sail at 5.00pm, gate close at 3.30pm and I reach about 2.00pm, do you think i will be able to complete everything and successfully board my cruise? My concerns are more on the processing time and distance, customs clearance, long queue, parking and even walking to cruise before boarding. Really need your input. Thanks in advance 😉

Read from your blog => “A major highlight of BCC, while under the ownership of Boustead Group, was the docking of one of the world’s largest and most technologically-advanced cruise ships, MS Quantum of the Seas, owned by Royal Caribbean International. It carried 4,000 passengers”

Question : Royal Caribbean still operates and sails to/from Malaysia? Would be interesting to know as I like to sail that vessel one day. Thanks.

Our cruise depart from BCC terminal for 5D4N but discharge at Penang. If we park our car at BCC but only return to take our car after we back from Penang(maybe 2 to 3 days after the cruise tour). Is it allow？Will the parking fee still charge at RM10 per entry？

Hi Emily, I going travel Superstar Gemini on this sunday 11/11/2018. Need your advise can we online self-check in?What kind of items cant bring onboard?(liquid,etc…).What is the weight for luggage we can onboard?

1. Is the mobile networks available on the cruise (Star Cruise- Gemini)?
2. What currency are using on the cruise?
3. We are lacto-ovo-vegetarian (eggs and dairy are acceptable) and is there any arrangement on the meals?
4. Is the car-parking available at the port? How much is the car-park and where is the place to gather to get on board?

Can anyone please advise the transportation from cruise terminal to Kuala Lumpur? I know there is a train running to Kuala Lumpur, but how to get to the train station from the cruise termial, such as any shuttle bus service? If taxi is the only option, how much it would cost to the Pelabuhan Klang train station? If I decide to hire a taxi to Kuala Lumpur for about 6 hours, what would be the cost? thank you!
